Problematic Issues Regarding Special Inspections:
What Are Special Inspections:
WHY SPECIAL INSPECTIONS ARE
NOT SO SPECIAL
Message FroM The Chair
2. Inspections of structural steel welded connections.
3. Inspections of masonry reinforcing placement prior
to grouting.
Since the Board recently became aware of this serious
issue and has not addressed this topic before, it is now
trying to develop a good description and definition of the
problems that exist. With input from various
resources, the Board identified two specific issues, as
follows:
Issue #1 - Accuracy of the Special Inspections:
Special Inspections are being performed routinely by
technicians in the field who have neither the education
nor the experience to qualify as being capable of doing
these inspections properly. Further, many of the PE’s in
responsible charge of the employees who are doing these
inspections are signing and sealing these Special Inspec-tion
Reports without adequate knowledge as to whether
the facts in the reports bear any resemblance to the con-ditions
which actually exist in the field.
Section 1704.1 of the 2009 International Building Code
states:“…The special inspector shall be a qualified
satisfaction of the building official, for the
inspection of the particular type of construction or
operation requiring special inspection The
registered design professional in responsible charge
and engineers of record involved in the design of the
project are permitted to act as the approved agency
and their personnel are permitted to act as the
special inspector for the work designed by them,
provided those personnel meet the qualification
requirements of this section to the satisfaction of the
building official. …”
Issue #2 – Conflict of Interest:
Special Inspections are being performed routinely by
entities hired by the contractor, not by the owner or
the registered design professional in responsible charge,
acting as the owner’s agent. Not only does this violate
(Continued on Page 12)
Robert C. Zahl, PE, Board Chair
The Oklahoma Board was notified recently about a
disturbing issue that appears to have been a
long-standing problem regarding Special Inspections.
The 2009 International Building Code defines a
Special Inspection as “Inspection as herein required
of the materials, installation, fabrication, erection
or placement of components and connections
requiring special expertise to ensure compliance
with approved construction documents and
references standards..”. These inspections are
designated as such for the simple reason that they are
intended to be of a quality that is over-and-above what
would be considered a typical periodic inspection
performed by a PE as part of the Construction Phase
services. Periodic inspections are typically provided
by the PE as part of a standard contract for a building
design project, but certain portions of the
construction are designated by the building codes as
requiring these Special Inspections.
Some specific examples of Special Inspections, as
related to structural items, are:
1. Inspections of concrete reinforcing placement
prior to pouring concrete.

ARE YOU IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE
OKLAHOMA TAX COMMISSION?
By law, the Board cannot renew a professional license if the licensee is in non-compliance
with the Oklahoma Tax Commission. At times is is a lengthy process to get into compliance,
so please make sure you allow yourself ample time prior to your renewal date to complete
the process.
Practicing engineering or land surveying with an expired license, even if it is expired due to
non-compliance with the tax commission, is a violation of state law and will be prosecuted by
this Board.

Even those who will qualify for the exams by LEP are encouraged to start taking land surveying
classes now. For the most part, the surveying exams are based on knowledge obtained in college level
land surveying class work. Taking college classes, particularly those included in the Core Curriculum, will
improve the applicant’s chance of success on the examinations and improve the chance of success in their
surveying practice. Furthermore, a LEP applicant who does not complete all of the examinations prior to
the April 2014 deadline will be that much closer to qualifying for licensure by an education pathway.
√ April 2014 is the last date to take the PS
and/or OLS if admitted under LEP
√ If the applicant has not met all of the
requirements for licensure by July 2014, he/
she will have to reapply with proof of
sufficient education to qualify.
√ If you plan to qualify for PLS licensure
under LEP, apply as soon as you get 9
years of experience so you can begin the
exam process!
Critical Facts About Licensure
as a PLS Under Long Established
Practice (LEP)

In Memoriam - In Celebration of the Lives and Contributions of the Following Professionals
This Information Is Critical to the future PLS
Licensees of the Board. Because of its impor-tance,
it is being reprinted from the last edition
of the Board’s Bulletin. Please help
future Professional Land Surveyors by sharing
this information.
As we have been publicizing since our statute
changed in 2005, education requirements for licen-sure
as a PLS are changing. Since Long Established
Practice (LEP) will no longer be a path to licensure
after July 1, 2014, the Board is encouraging those on
the path to licensure, regardless of where they are
right now, to be familiar with the requirements.
Furthermore, the Board strongly encourages poten-tial
licensees to begin pursuing a 2-year Surveying
degree or at least taking the Core Curriculum now!

Do thoroughly complete the Monument Description section of the CCR form. Do not simply
state “Found 5/8” iron pin” or “Set Mag Nail” without listing supporting evidence found; and,
if applicable the method used for restoring a lost corner.
Monument location must be supported by evidence whether it’s other monuments, fences or
improvements found, record evidence like a recorded subdivision plats or even parol evidence.
You are responsible for searching for and then listing enough evidence so that any surveyor fol-lowing
in your footsteps can be assured that your corner location has been properly researched
and can be relied upon. Anything less than thorough investigation may expose the surveyor to
unwarranted liability and possible result in disciplinary action by this Board.
Do contact the previous surveyor if you disagree with the corner position shown on their CCR.
This is particularly important if the CCR was filed long ago and many surveyors have used that
CCR as control in boundary surveys. Disagreement over the location of public land corners is
likely to lead to boundary disputes between neighbors.
Do not be guilty of creating boundary confusion in a neighborhood without taking the professional
courtesy of contacting the other surveyor involved.
Remember, contacting the other surveyor and making an effort to resolve the disagree-ment
is a requirement of the state minimum standards.

Corner Perpetuation and Filing Act
Do’s and Don’ts
Since 1978 Oklahoma has required that land surveyors
file a Certified Corner Record (CCR) for every public land
corner used as control in a land survey unless it is substantially
the same as one already on file. Besides the Licensing Act, this is
the single most important law governing the practice of land
surveying in Oklahoma. Perpetuation and protection of public
land corners is essential to the orderly development of our
communities and more importantly, the permanence of our land
boundaries.
While over 150,000 CCR’s have been prepared and
filed with the State Department of Libraries, it has come to the
attention of the Board that there are still many CCR’s filed that
either lack necessary information or contain incorrect informa-tion.
The following brief list of Do’s and Don’ts is intended as a
reminder of what is required to be in compliance with the law, so
that surveyors following in your footsteps may confidently use
your CCR.

THE BOARD’S BULLETIN
Position Statement
Adopted by the Board July 2011
Effective immediately, land surveyors must take care to only show measurements on a mortgage inspection
report which are true representations of the conditions that were found. Anyone showing measurements or

Corner Perpetuation and Filing Act
Do’s and Don’ts
By Bruce Pitts, PLS (continued from page 7)
Do know the surveying definition of existing, obliterated and lost corner classifications so that youd o not
mistakenly identify an ODOT brass cap or a 3/8” iron pin as an existing corner, or classify a corner as
obliterated and then state that proportional measurement was used to set the corner.
Do use the correct proportional measurement procedure if the corner is classified as lost.
This requires special attention on the exterior of a township, on the northern or
western tiers of sections within a township, in country surveyed by the 3-mile method
or where the original surveyors employed special procedures.
Do file a CCR for all public land survey corners used as control in performing proportional measurement .
Do file a new CCR if the corner or its accessories (references) are substantially diferent from a CCR
currently on file.
For example, if the existing CCR calls for a ½” iron pin, and you find a Mag nail,
you are required to prepare a CCR for the Mag nail. Yes, the land surveyor who set
the Mag nail should have filed a CCR and could be disciplined by the Board for not
doing so; but since they didn’t file, you are now responsible and you must file a CCR.
Do make it clear on your CCR that your corner is in the same position as the one shown on the previous
CCR.
Do carefully describe the monument you set or find.
There is a difference between a 1/2” and a 5/8” iron pin and failure to note that
could lead to confusion and wasted time.
Do consider the history of and the method used to establish a corner location with an existing CCR before
you establish a new corner location in close proximity to the existing CCR.
Multiple monuments in close proximity do not protect the public and they make the
surveying profession look inadequate.
Do show all monuments in the immediate vicinity on your CCR with horizontal ties and carefully describe
why your position is better and, therefore necessary.
This is not a complete list of Do’s and Don’ts because there are many other common sense examples.
Using references that are in the close proximity of the corner, providing an accurate sketch with topographi-cal
features and even digging up the monument instead of just relying on the signals from the magnetic
locator, are all examples of care that must be taken to ensure that our public land survey corners are per-petuated.
Establishing and re-establishing the positions of public land survey corners by painstakingly discovering an
accurate and defensible trail of evidence and then publishing the results for others to follow was the purpose
of this law when it was enacted 33 years ago. Protection of the public demands that surveyors go to great
lengths to correctly perform this most important land surveying duty.
OKLAHOMA STATE BOARD OF LICENSURE FOR PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERS AND LAND SURVEYORS
THE BOARD’S BULLETIN
Special Inspections - To Be Continued:
The Board will continue to work towards a solution until we find one that will result in getting a proper
special inspection performed without putting the firms or the individuals who are doing these inspections
into situations where they are violating the licensing laws that are intended to protect the public.
Special Inspection Issues Addressed In NY State:
the 2009 IBC, but it provides an ethical dilemma for the registered design professional when they are hired by the
contractor. For example, if the Special Inspector finds too many problems with the contractor’s work, this could
lead to this inspector not being hired to do any further inspections, even if there are more to be done.
Section 1704.1 of the 2009 International Building Code states:
“Where application is made for construction as described in this section the owner or the
registered design professional in responsible charge acting as the owner’s agent shall employ one or
more approved agencies to perform inspections during construction on the types of work listed
under Section 1704. …..”
1. OAC 245:15-9-4(a) Licensees shall practice only in the areas of their competence and shall undertake
assignments only when qualified by education, examination, or experience in the specific technical fields of
engineering or land surveying involved…
2. OAC 245:15-9-4(b) Licensees shall not affix their signatures, date of signature, or seals to any plans or
documents dealing with subject matter in which they lack competence, nor to any plan or document not
prepared under their direct control and personal supervision.
3. OAC 245:15-23-7(a)(2) Acts which evidence a disregard or indifference toward the rules or statutes
governing the practice of engineering … regulations, codes, ordinances and recognized standards including
but not limited to those regulating the design of facilities to be constructed.
Because of problems identified regarding special inspections in other states, there are now many engineering
firms whose services are composed not only of design work but of doing Special Inspections for both their
projects and for projects that have been designed by others. New York State now requires that special inspector
companies become certified and certify that their staff meets the requirements to perform special inspections.
Those certified engineering firms or individuals must be hired by the owners. This is the way that Special Inspec-tions
were intended to be done, and this is what we should be striving to make happen.
My challenge to all of those who are involved in any portion of this type of work is for you to send
suggestions to this Board as to how you think this problem can be resolved in the interest of public protection. We
are looking for all perspectives to ensure we are addressing the problem from all viewpoints. Now that we know
about the problem and have chosen to address it, we need your input. To submit your input you may email

Why Special Inspections Are Not So Special - by Robert C. Zahl, PE (Continued From Page 2)
Thanks to the Continuing Education Audit
Committee Members for both Engineering and
Surveying. Your assistance is vital to conducting
a professional audit of the continuing education
requirements for PE’s and PLS’.
PE Continuing Education Committee Members:
Julie Guy, PE; Marcia Bates, PE; Alan Bates, PE; John Veenstra,
PE; Chuck Darr, PE; Glen Smith, PE; Bill McVey, PE; Jim Kersey,

PS Continuing Education Committee Members:
Aaron Morris, PLS; Gary Brickley, PLS; Gordon Johnson,
PLS; Ron Leifheit, PLS; Kelly Schmidt, PLS; Roy Entz, PE, PLS; Glen
Smith, PE, PLS; Bruce Pitts, PLS;
When reporting professional development hours (PDH’s) for
PE’s and PLS’ at the time of your renewal, whether renew-ing
online or by mail, you will no longer be required to submit a
detailed log form of your credits earned. However, for audit
purposes you must keep an up-to-date log form in your files, along
with copies of all proof of attendance.
Annually, approximately 250 PE’s and 50 PLS’ are audited
for compliance with the continuing education requirement.
Typically, 95% of those audited have no problem providing the
Continuing Education Committee with the appropriate proof of
attendance for these professional development hours.
Unfortunately there is always a very small percentage that either do
not comply with the request for the audited material or cannot
provide proof of their professional development hours. Occasion-ally
the Continuing Education Committees have encountered
outright fraud in the reporting of the professional development
hours and these individuals have had formal disciplinary actions
filed against them by the Board.
Also, after reviewing a request by the Uniform Building
Code Commission, it was determined by the Board that profes-sional
development hours could be earned for writing technical
standards.

THE BOARD’S BULLETIN
OKLAHOMA STATE BOARD OF LICENSURE FOR PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERS AND LAND SURVEYORS
Problematic Issues Regarding Special Inspections:
What Are Special Inspections:
WHY SPECIAL INSPECTIONS ARE
NOT SO SPECIAL
Message FroM The Chair
2. Inspections of structural steel welded connections.
3. Inspections of masonry reinforcing placement prior
to grouting.
Since the Board recently became aware of this serious
issue and has not addressed this topic before, it is now
trying to develop a good description and definition of the
problems that exist. With input from various
resources, the Board identified two specific issues, as
follows:
Issue #1 - Accuracy of the Special Inspections:
Special Inspections are being performed routinely by
technicians in the field who have neither the education
nor the experience to qualify as being capable of doing
these inspections properly. Further, many of the PE’s in
responsible charge of the employees who are doing these
inspections are signing and sealing these Special Inspec-tion
Reports without adequate knowledge as to whether
the facts in the reports bear any resemblance to the con-ditions
which actually exist in the field.
Section 1704.1 of the 2009 International Building Code
states:“…The special inspector shall be a qualified
satisfaction of the building official, for the
inspection of the particular type of construction or
operation requiring special inspection The
registered design professional in responsible charge
and engineers of record involved in the design of the
project are permitted to act as the approved agency
and their personnel are permitted to act as the
special inspector for the work designed by them,
provided those personnel meet the qualification
requirements of this section to the satisfaction of the
building official. …”
Issue #2 – Conflict of Interest:
Special Inspections are being performed routinely by
entities hired by the contractor, not by the owner or
the registered design professional in responsible charge,
acting as the owner’s agent. Not only does this violate
(Continued on Page 12)
Robert C. Zahl, PE, Board Chair
The Oklahoma Board was notified recently about a
disturbing issue that appears to have been a
long-standing problem regarding Special Inspections.
The 2009 International Building Code defines a
Special Inspection as “Inspection as herein required
of the materials, installation, fabrication, erection
or placement of components and connections
requiring special expertise to ensure compliance
with approved construction documents and
references standards..”. These inspections are
designated as such for the simple reason that they are
intended to be of a quality that is over-and-above what
would be considered a typical periodic inspection
performed by a PE as part of the Construction Phase
services. Periodic inspections are typically provided
by the PE as part of a standard contract for a building
design project, but certain portions of the
construction are designated by the building codes as
requiring these Special Inspections.
Some specific examples of Special Inspections, as
related to structural items, are:
1. Inspections of concrete reinforcing placement
prior to pouring concrete.

ARE YOU IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE
OKLAHOMA TAX COMMISSION?
By law, the Board cannot renew a professional license if the licensee is in non-compliance
with the Oklahoma Tax Commission. At times is is a lengthy process to get into compliance,
so please make sure you allow yourself ample time prior to your renewal date to complete
the process.
Practicing engineering or land surveying with an expired license, even if it is expired due to
non-compliance with the tax commission, is a violation of state law and will be prosecuted by
this Board.

Even those who will qualify for the exams by LEP are encouraged to start taking land surveying
classes now. For the most part, the surveying exams are based on knowledge obtained in college level
land surveying class work. Taking college classes, particularly those included in the Core Curriculum, will
improve the applicant’s chance of success on the examinations and improve the chance of success in their
surveying practice. Furthermore, a LEP applicant who does not complete all of the examinations prior to
the April 2014 deadline will be that much closer to qualifying for licensure by an education pathway.
√ April 2014 is the last date to take the PS
and/or OLS if admitted under LEP
√ If the applicant has not met all of the
requirements for licensure by July 2014, he/
she will have to reapply with proof of
sufficient education to qualify.
√ If you plan to qualify for PLS licensure
under LEP, apply as soon as you get 9
years of experience so you can begin the
exam process!

In Memoriam - In Celebration of the Lives and Contributions of the Following Professionals
This Information Is Critical to the future PLS
Licensees of the Board. Because of its impor-tance,
it is being reprinted from the last edition
of the Board’s Bulletin. Please help
future Professional Land Surveyors by sharing
this information.
As we have been publicizing since our statute
changed in 2005, education requirements for licen-sure
as a PLS are changing. Since Long Established
Practice (LEP) will no longer be a path to licensure
after July 1, 2014, the Board is encouraging those on
the path to licensure, regardless of where they are
right now, to be familiar with the requirements.
Furthermore, the Board strongly encourages poten-tial
licensees to begin pursuing a 2-year Surveying
degree or at least taking the Core Curriculum now!

Do thoroughly complete the Monument Description section of the CCR form. Do not simply
state “Found 5/8” iron pin” or “Set Mag Nail” without listing supporting evidence found; and,
if applicable the method used for restoring a lost corner.
Monument location must be supported by evidence whether it’s other monuments, fences or
improvements found, record evidence like a recorded subdivision plats or even parol evidence.
You are responsible for searching for and then listing enough evidence so that any surveyor fol-lowing
in your footsteps can be assured that your corner location has been properly researched
and can be relied upon. Anything less than thorough investigation may expose the surveyor to
unwarranted liability and possible result in disciplinary action by this Board.
Do contact the previous surveyor if you disagree with the corner position shown on their CCR.
This is particularly important if the CCR was filed long ago and many surveyors have used that
CCR as control in boundary surveys. Disagreement over the location of public land corners is
likely to lead to boundary disputes between neighbors.
Do not be guilty of creating boundary confusion in a neighborhood without taking the professional
courtesy of contacting the other surveyor involved.
Remember, contacting the other surveyor and making an effort to resolve the disagree-ment
is a requirement of the state minimum standards.

Corner Perpetuation and Filing Act
Do’s and Don’ts
Since 1978 Oklahoma has required that land surveyors
file a Certified Corner Record (CCR) for every public land
corner used as control in a land survey unless it is substantially
the same as one already on file. Besides the Licensing Act, this is
the single most important law governing the practice of land
surveying in Oklahoma. Perpetuation and protection of public
land corners is essential to the orderly development of our
communities and more importantly, the permanence of our land
boundaries.
While over 150,000 CCR’s have been prepared and
filed with the State Department of Libraries, it has come to the
attention of the Board that there are still many CCR’s filed that
either lack necessary information or contain incorrect informa-tion.
The following brief list of Do’s and Don’ts is intended as a
reminder of what is required to be in compliance with the law, so
that surveyors following in your footsteps may confidently use
your CCR.

THE BOARD’S BULLETIN
Position Statement
Adopted by the Board July 2011
Effective immediately, land surveyors must take care to only show measurements on a mortgage inspection
report which are true representations of the conditions that were found. Anyone showing measurements or
other representations on a mortgage inspection report that are not true representations of the conditions that
were found at the time of the inspection will be in violation of the Minimum Standards for the Practice of
Land Surveying.
Minimum Standards for the Practice of Land Surveying
O.A.C. 245:15-13-2 (e) - (existing language – no amendments proposed)
MORTGAGE INSPECTION REPORT
‘This Mortgage Inspection Report was prepared for …(individual or firm)…. It is not a land or bound-ary
survey plat, and it is not to be relied upon for the establishment of fence, building or other future
improvement lines. The accompanying sketch is a true representation of the conditions that were found
at the time of the inspection, and the linear and angular values shown on the sketch, if any, are based on
record or deed information and have not been verified unless noted.’
Any further statements shall be made only after proper research, investigation and boundary analysis is
conducted per 245:15-13-2(a) through (d).

Corner Perpetuation and Filing Act
Do’s and Don’ts
By Bruce Pitts, PLS (continued from page 7)
Do know the surveying definition of existing, obliterated and lost corner classifications so that youd o not
mistakenly identify an ODOT brass cap or a 3/8” iron pin as an existing corner, or classify a corner as
obliterated and then state that proportional measurement was used to set the corner.
Do use the correct proportional measurement procedure if the corner is classified as lost.
This requires special attention on the exterior of a township, on the northern or
western tiers of sections within a township, in country surveyed by the 3-mile method
or where the original surveyors employed special procedures.
Do file a CCR for all public land survey corners used as control in performing proportional measurement .
Do file a new CCR if the corner or its accessories (references) are substantially diferent from a CCR
currently on file.
For example, if the existing CCR calls for a ½” iron pin, and you find a Mag nail,
you are required to prepare a CCR for the Mag nail. Yes, the land surveyor who set
the Mag nail should have filed a CCR and could be disciplined by the Board for not
doing so; but since they didn’t file, you are now responsible and you must file a CCR.
Do make it clear on your CCR that your corner is in the same position as the one shown on the previous
CCR.
Do carefully describe the monument you set or find.
There is a difference between a 1/2” and a 5/8” iron pin and failure to note that
could lead to confusion and wasted time.
Do consider the history of and the method used to establish a corner location with an existing CCR before
you establish a new corner location in close proximity to the existing CCR.
Multiple monuments in close proximity do not protect the public and they make the
surveying profession look inadequate.
Do show all monuments in the immediate vicinity on your CCR with horizontal ties and carefully describe
why your position is better and, therefore necessary.
This is not a complete list of Do’s and Don’ts because there are many other common sense examples.
Using references that are in the close proximity of the corner, providing an accurate sketch with topographi-cal
features and even digging up the monument instead of just relying on the signals from the magnetic
locator, are all examples of care that must be taken to ensure that our public land survey corners are per-petuated.
Establishing and re-establishing the positions of public land survey corners by painstakingly discovering an
accurate and defensible trail of evidence and then publishing the results for others to follow was the purpose
of this law when it was enacted 33 years ago. Protection of the public demands that surveyors go to great
lengths to correctly perform this most important land surveying duty.
OKLAHOMA STATE BOARD OF LICENSURE FOR PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERS AND LAND SURVEYORS
THE BOARD’S BULLETIN
Special Inspections - To Be Continued:
The Board will continue to work towards a solution until we find one that will result in getting a proper
special inspection performed without putting the firms or the individuals who are doing these inspections
into situations where they are violating the licensing laws that are intended to protect the public.
Special Inspection Issues Addressed In NY State:
the 2009 IBC, but it provides an ethical dilemma for the registered design professional when they are hired by the
contractor. For example, if the Special Inspector finds too many problems with the contractor’s work, this could
lead to this inspector not being hired to do any further inspections, even if there are more to be done.
Section 1704.1 of the 2009 International Building Code states:
“Where application is made for construction as described in this section the owner or the
registered design professional in responsible charge acting as the owner’s agent shall employ one or
more approved agencies to perform inspections during construction on the types of work listed
under Section 1704. …..”
1. OAC 245:15-9-4(a) Licensees shall practice only in the areas of their competence and shall undertake
assignments only when qualified by education, examination, or experience in the specific technical fields of
engineering or land surveying involved…
2. OAC 245:15-9-4(b) Licensees shall not affix their signatures, date of signature, or seals to any plans or
documents dealing with subject matter in which they lack competence, nor to any plan or document not
prepared under their direct control and personal supervision.
3. OAC 245:15-23-7(a)(2) Acts which evidence a disregard or indifference toward the rules or statutes
governing the practice of engineering … regulations, codes, ordinances and recognized standards including
but not limited to those regulating the design of facilities to be constructed.
Because of problems identified regarding special inspections in other states, there are now many engineering
firms whose services are composed not only of design work but of doing Special Inspections for both their
projects and for projects that have been designed by others. New York State now requires that special inspector
companies become certified and certify that their staff meets the requirements to perform special inspections.
Those certified engineering firms or individuals must be hired by the owners. This is the way that Special Inspec-tions
were intended to be done, and this is what we should be striving to make happen.
My challenge to all of those who are involved in any portion of this type of work is for you to send
suggestions to this Board as to how you think this problem can be resolved in the interest of public protection. We
are looking for all perspectives to ensure we are addressing the problem from all viewpoints. Now that we know
about the problem and have chosen to address it, we need your input. To submit your input you may email
khart@pels.ok.gov, or snail mail:

Why Special Inspections Are Not So Special - by Robert C. Zahl, PE (Continued From Page 2)
Thanks to the Continuing Education Audit
Committee Members for both Engineering and
Surveying. Your assistance is vital to conducting
a professional audit of the continuing education
requirements for PE’s and PLS’.
PE Continuing Education Committee Members:
Julie Guy, PE; Marcia Bates, PE; Alan Bates, PE; John Veenstra,
PE; Chuck Darr, PE; Glen Smith, PE; Bill McVey, PE; Jim Kersey,
PE; Eric Strong, PE; Monte Tull, PE; Tommy Lear, PE; Shawn
Thompson, PE; Bill Dickerson, PE; Bruce Pitts, PLS
PS Continuing Education Committee Members:
Aaron Morris, PLS; Gary Brickley, PLS; Gordon Johnson,
PLS; Ron Leifheit, PLS; Kelly Schmidt, PLS; Roy Entz, PE, PLS; Glen
Smith, PE, PLS; Bruce Pitts, PLS;
When reporting professional development hours (PDH’s) for
PE’s and PLS’ at the time of your renewal, whether renew-ing
online or by mail, you will no longer be required to submit a
detailed log form of your credits earned. However, for audit
purposes you must keep an up-to-date log form in your files, along
with copies of all proof of attendance.
Annually, approximately 250 PE’s and 50 PLS’ are audited
for compliance with the continuing education requirement.
Typically, 95% of those audited have no problem providing the
Continuing Education Committee with the appropriate proof of
attendance for these professional development hours.
Unfortunately there is always a very small percentage that either do
not comply with the request for the audited material or cannot
provide proof of their professional development hours. Occasion-ally
the Continuing Education Committees have encountered
outright fraud in the reporting of the professional development
hours and these individuals have had formal disciplinary actions
filed against them by the Board.
Also, after reviewing a request by the Uniform Building
Code Commission, it was determined by the Board that profes-sional
development hours could be earned for writing technical
standards.
